Dual Port 10GbE Flex10 Adapter

The HP NC542M is a dual-port 10GbE multifunction adapter built for BladeSystem c-Class enclosures. It uses Flex10 technology to partition each physical port into multiple virtual NICs. This module suits administrators who need flexible bandwidth allocation for virtualised workloads.

BladeSystem c-Class integration

The adapter installs directly into a BladeSystem c-Class bay and connects to the onboard interconnect fabric. It removes the need for separate mezzanine cards and external cabling for 10GbE connectivity. Buyers who require more than two physical ports or a different form factor should consider other options.

The NC542M has two 10 GbE ports, giving dual-port bandwidth for continuous workloads.

What is the module weight, and does it affect blade thermal limits under all-day load?

At 5.1 the unit adds minimal mass, so blade thermal headroom stays unchanged during extended operation.
